Living in Vancouver
Hello there. I have a question.
Regarding the sentence:
Living in Vancouver, we often went to Chinatown.
Q1 Is it natural English?
Q2 Some people say that it is equivalent to "When we lived in Vancouver, we often went to Chinatown." Do you agree with them?
Q3 Can we say that it means either "Because we lived in Vancouver, we often went to Chinatown" or "When we lived in Vancouver, we often went to Chinatown"?
Top answer
Q1) Yes Q2) Yes Q3) The 'because' meaning is rather unlikely. If we meant that, we would normally say it more explicitly. The context will usually make the intended meaning clear.
